Hayes paints a halo of hypocrisy
It's understandable. I suddosc th.it M.m,t . s..u.
Woody Haves crowd was mesmerized by his charisma
After all, it was his charisma that made him the successful
coach he was at Ohio State.
But, I have to wonder how many of the 1,500 people
attending Hayes speech would have attended if Hayes
was known only for being a former Big Ten coach. It's
obvious that Hayes wouldn't be half the drawing card if
controversy didn't surround him.
r l
Despite that controversy, however, by the end of his
speech, Hayes had the crowd in his back pocket, loving
everything he said, and loving him.
He prophetically expounded on his loathe of violence
and corruption and all things evil. He glowingly exclaimed
that no Ohio State football player, under his regime, was
ever critically injured, and how his team prayed -not to
win but for "the man up yonder" to keep the players
from harm.
You know that's what
you're going to say if your
candidate doesn't win.

Hayes painted a sparkling, golden halo around himself,
and the crowd ate it up.
Everyone seemed to forget, or wanted to forget, exact
ly what it was that made Hayes so famous.
Hayes was quite the coach, and is quite the storyteller.
But Hayes is also quite the hypocrite.
By breaking sideline markers and shoving a television
reporter lader with a heavy camera, it's hard to believe
that has a loathe of violence. And when he intentionally
hit that Clemson player in 1979, had he really prayed for
an injury-free game?
But now he is invited to speak across the country , and
encouraged to paint that golden halo.
If anyone has illustrated violence in sports, it is Woody
Hayes, and if anyone deserves to be questioned about his
role as that illustrator, it is him.
Yet he refused to discuss the incidents, claiming that
mistakes happen, and that he has paid for his. But, more
importantly, the audience was so easily swept in by his
charisma, by his candor and by his hypocrisy, that it can't
even see how he hurt the game of football.
I realize that a person should not be haunted by his
mistakes throughout his life, but the mistakes Hayes made
deserve to be discussed-not ignored.
